Hi ladies my 6 week old dd strains terribly like she is going to burst. She manages to poo once a day she is taking cow and gate first milk and using mam anti colic bottles. Bought colief today to try her with it she suffers alot of bottom wind . Health visitor has suggested cow and gate colic and constipation milk has anyone used it and had good results x

Hi, we had the same issue from baby being a couple of weeks old. He constantly had horrific wind and was clearly in pain pulling his legs up😢
We started him on Cow and Gate Comfort and used the Care Co Lactase drops (same idea as Colief but you don't have to wait after adding drops) and he is like a different baby! So much more settled, I'd definitely recommend giving the Co Lactase drops a go!

Very similar here with DD2 (now 14 weeks). Turns out she has mild cows milk protein allergy - now on a prescription milk (nutramigen) and is a different baby!
